About

Stockton Flyer is a other in north east. (Kinetic sculpture.) According to Wikipedia: "The Stockton Flyer is a kinetic sculpture in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, England. It is a stylised depiction of the Locomotion No. 1, which first arrived in Stockton in 1825, and, as part of the Stockton and Darlington Railway had a large impact on the town. The sculpture rises from within a stone plinth at 1 p.m. every day and moves, emits smokes, and sounds a whistle. It was designed and built by Rob Higgs and was unveiled on 12 June 2016."
